Tamsulosin and Dutasteride Combination Therapy for Asian Men With Moderate-to-Severe Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Systematic Review of Clinical Considerations That Influence the Prescription.

The goal of combination therapy for moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) is to ease both the dynamic and static symptoms by using agents that have complementary mechanisms of action. Similar to prescribing other drugs, LUTS/BPH combination therapy has been affected by multiple factors. Previous qualitative research discussed the individual perspectives that influenced combination therapy administration.

Coming and going: A narrative review exploring the push-pull factors during nurses' careers.

Background: Shortages of nurses are one of the biggest challenges healthcare systems face around the world. Given the wide range of contexts and individuals working in nursing, a 'one-size-fits-all' retention strategy is unlikely to be effective. Knowing what matters most to nurses at different career stages would help employers and policy-makers who want to enhance nurse retention to design tailored strategies.

What might make nurses stay? A protocol for discrete choice experiments to understand NHS nurses' preferences at early-career and late-career stages.

Introduction: Like many countries, England has a national shortage of registered nurses. Employers strive to retain existing staff, to ease supply pressures. Disproportionate numbers of nurses leave the National Health Services (NHS) both early in their careers, and later, as they near retirement age.

Developing effective In-Service Education for intensive care nurses: Exploring the views of clinical stakeholders in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Evidence-based in-service education (ISE) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is essential to maintaining nurse skill and competence in this complex clinical area. However, there has been limited research that has focused on developing and optimising the specialised training required by ICU nurses working in trauma care.

Objectives: To explore the perspectives of ICU clinical stakeholders regarding their needs and preferences for ISE to inform the future development and implementation of effective educational interventions.

Exploring perceptions of digital technology and digital skills among newly registered nurses and clinical managers.

Background: Digital technology has an increasing role in healthcare, but staff lack opportunities to develop their digital skills and there is a lack of research on education and training in digital technology for staff.

Aim: To explore nurses' perceptions of the use of digital technology in their practice and to identify the digital skills required by newly registered nurses to work in a digitally enabled environment.

Method: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted on an online communication platform with nine participants - four newly registered nurses and five senior nurses working in clinical and/or management roles.

In-service education in trauma care for intensive care unit nurses: An exploratory multiple case study.

Aim: This study explores the perceptions of intensive care units (ICUs) nurses with different educational backgrounds regarding their abilities in trauma care and the in-service education they receive to support it.

Background: The advanced care of patients with traumatic injuries in ICU environments requires skilled and knowledgeable nurses, who need continuing and in-service education to provide the best care. Therefore, it is essential to understand the competencies and educational support these nurses may need in the ICUs to ensure safe and effective care delivery.

Front-line staff perspectives on a caring culture in Chinese hospitals: Validation of a Chinese version of the Culture of Care Barometer.

Aims: The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Culture of Care Barometer in health care organizations.

Background: There is a lack of tools to gauge the caring culture in Chinese hospitals. The Culture of Care Barometer is a psychometrically sound measure for caring culture developed in Western settings.

Interventions to promote family member involvement in adult critical care settings: a systematic review.

Objective: To identify, appraise and synthesise evidence of interventions designed to promote family member involvement in adult critical care units; and to develop a working typology of interventions for use by health professionals and family members.

Design: Mixed-method systematic review.

Data Sources: Bibliographic databases were searched without date restriction up to June 2019: MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Joanna Briggs and Cochrane Libraries.

Healthcare stakeholders' perceptions and experiences of factors affecting the implementation of critical care telemedicine (CCT): qualitative evidence synthesis.

Background: Critical care telemedicine (CCT) has long been advocated for enabling access to scarce critical care expertise in geographically-distant areas. Additional advantages of CCT include the potential for reduced variability in treatment and care through clinical decision support enabled by the analysis of large data sets and the use of predictive tools. Evidence points to health systems investing in telemedicine appearing better prepared to respond to sudden increases in demand, such as during pandemics.

The organisational context of nursing practice in hospitals in China and its relationship with quality of care, and patient and nurse outcomes: A mixed-methods review.

Background: Achieving high-quality care and retention of nurses are major concerns for nurse leaders in hospitals. The organisational context is theorised to influence the quality of care and patient and nurse outcomes. This review focuses on China where the healthcare system is different from most Western countries in terms of government healthcare expenditure, public health insurance and healthcare delivery system.

Interventions to promote patients and families' involvement in adult intensive care settings: a protocol for a mixed-method systematic review.

Background: There has been an identified need for greater patient and family member involvement in healthcare. This is particularly relevant in an intensive care unit (ICU), as the family provides a key communicative and practical link between patient and clinician. Family members have been deemed a positive beneficial influence on ICU care and recovery processes, yet they themselves are often emotionally affected after discharge.

Development and testing of the 'Culture of Care Barometer' (CoCB) in healthcare organisations: a mixed methods study.

Objective: Concerns about care quality have prompted calls to create workplace cultures conducive to high-quality, safe and compassionate care and to provide a supportive environment in which staff can operate effectively. How healthcare organisations assess their culture of care is an important first step in creating such cultures. This article reports on the development and validation of a tool, the Culture of Care Barometer, designed to assess perceptions of a caring culture among healthcare workers preliminary to culture change.

Exploring the adoption of Schwartz Center Rounds as an organisational innovation to improve staff well-being in England, 2009-2015.

Objectives: Schwartz Center Rounds ('Rounds') are a multidisciplinary forum in which healthcare staff within an organisation discuss the psychological, emotional and social challenges associated with their work in a confidential and safe environment. Implemented in over 375 North American organisations, since 2009, they have been increasingly adopted in England. This study aimed to establish how many and what types of organisations have adopted Rounds in England, and to explore why they did so.

Employers' and employees' views on responsibilities for career management in nursing: a cross-sectional survey.

Aim: To examine nurse employees' and employers' views about responsibilities for managing nurses' careers.

Background: Career management policies are associated with cost savings, in terms of workforce recruitment and retention and an increase in job and career satisfaction. In nursing, responsibility for career management remains relatively unexplored.
